A client who is iron deficient.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning a diet for a client who is iron deficient. Which of the following foods high in iron should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Red meat. Red meat is a high source of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body compared to non-heme iron found in plant-based foods. This is crucial for individuals with iron deficiency as they need easily absorbable iron to replenish their iron stores efficiently. Cashews (
A), oranges (
B), and yogurt (
C) are not as high in iron as red meat and do not contain heme iron.
Therefore, they may not be as effective in addressing the iron deficiency. It is important to choose foods rich in heme iron like red meat to effectively increase iron levels in the body.
